Practicing mindfulness could help a child build self-awareness and self-esteem

Mindfulness is the practice of focusing all your attention at the present moment. Several studies suggest that kids who practice mindfulness tend to develop positive traits such as increased self-control, better attentiveness in class, and more empathy and respect for others. BDM International firmly believes that students must make the habit of practising mindfulness activities by doing yoga or exercising because these methods help to reduce tensions and anxiety.

Why should it be practised?

1. It reduces your habit of overthinking - Practicing various activities of mindfulness like yoga or exercising your body calms down the mind. Reducing your tensions in studies or personal life.

2. It reduces your stress- It avoids the habit of cumulating your stress in studies and other co-curricular activities.

3. It improves your memory and concentration - While it reduces your tensions and stress levels, in return it improves the attention level during class hours. Building your concentration and improves the functioning of the brain.

4.  It helps in banishing your negative feelings- It helps in building a positive attitude thus making you be an optimist. It also makes you understand where the mistakes have been made as well as making you forgive and forget the argument with your friends.

Talk to them about your interests and take advice from them when they reply back to your words. Understand what they are saying and see how to make use of it.  
3.  Don't think about the past - Avoid thinking about the mistake done in the past by making a conscious effort to focus on the present situation and take time to find out the solution to solve the issue.
